Rod Easthope Martinborough Sauvignon Blanc 2016
About the wine
Super-refined and elegant white... we're in love
- Angel funding gave Rod carte blanche to make a spectacular New Zealand white that delivers insane value for money.
- ...Boy, has he delivered. It's bursting with character and elegance - a million miles away from your typical grocery store SB!
- If you want a crisp white wine that looks expensive, tastes expensive, but isn't expensive... here it is. And because you funded it - it's Angel exclusive.
Best before
Drink now or over the next two years. Some increased texture and rounder fruit flavors emerge with time.
Serving advice
Twist and pour! Start well-chilled and then allow to warm in the glass (always better to start too cold than too warm). The wine change and open up as it aerates and warms in the glass.
Food match
It doesn't actually need food - it is a great aperitif wine. Or dishes such as steamed mussels go perfectly. And surprisingly, this wine goes really well with mature hard cheeses.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Rod Easthope
- Rod left his full-time post as Chief Winemaker at Craggy Range, New Zealand's most iconic winery, to set-up-shop alone and make an exclusive range of wines just for us, using the BEST grapes that Hawke's Bay, Marlborough and Central Otago have to offer.
- Rod is an immense talent, whose wines are dripping in medals, rave journalist reviews and oodles of Parker Points - and he can now strike out on his own thanks to Angel funding and backing!
- This is a huge win because Rod is at the pinnacle of New Zealand winemaking. Your tastebuds are in for an incredible treat.
